Kyon, your typical high school student, has long given up his belief in the supernatural. However, upon meeting Haruhi Suzumiya, he quickly finds out that it is the supernatural that she is interested in; aliens, time travelers and espers among other things. When Haruhi laments about the lack of intriguing clubs around school, Kyon inspires Haruhi to form her own club. As a result, the SOS Brigade is formed, a club which specializes in all that is the supernatural.

Much to his chagrin, Kyon, along with the silent bookworm, Yuki Nagato, the shy and timid Mikuru Asahina, and the perpetually smiling Itsuki Koizumi, are recruited as members. The story follows the crazy adventures that these four endure under their whimsical leader, Haruhi. The story is based on the light novels by Nagaru Tanigawa.

Can't believe its been so long since I watched this. This is an anime worth going through for sure, and it's a shame they're not animating the other novels. I wonder if the reason really was that voice actor scandal.

Re: [Featured] Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (Season 1)

This is the anime which introduces me to the word of Light Novel. Ah, Good old days. Tomokazu Sugita's voice acting skill is really good, he was able to portray Kyon's personality perfectly.

Ah, that scandal. I wonder if changing agency means you're losing your job as a voice actor on a particular character. Aya Hirano already returned to voice acting career again, and I'm hoping that she will come back as a voice of Haruhi again. There was this unlikely-to-happen rumor that a new Haruhi movie is planned for 2013, though.

Re: [Featured] Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (Season 1)

That would be great news The series is something really special and I really enjoyed the mix of mystery, suspense, comedy and parody~

Anyone knows how far they got into the novels meaning how much is left to animate?

If you take The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya movie into account, there are approximately six or seven novels materials which are not adapted into animation yet. That's abundant enough to produce 3 movies or 30 episodes Anime, I wonder why KyoAni does not making it until now, though. That off screen scandal ruins everything, probably.
